“Liwei was amazing. She did a great job, listening to everything that we needed and took such good care of our pup while we were gone! She sent us many pictures of our dog while we were gone which always made us smile.”

“Erik was fantastic.He was punctual and sweet with our puppy, Millie. She had a lovely walk with him and she went to the dog park and met a puppy friend. Eric has a friendly demeanor and is very calm and clearly a dog lover. I appreciated all the pictures that showed me what a nice time they had together. We will definitely use him in the future.”

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter for my cat. She was responsible, responsive, and communicative throughout her time watching my cat. She provided daily updates and made sure to ask questions when needed to ensure my cat was cared for well. I would have Stephanie cat sit again for me!”

About: I cared for my own senior dog before he passed and understand how important patience, consistency, and routine are for pets. I’m experienced with regular walks, slower-paced outings, feeding routines, potty breaks, and keeping pets calm and comfortable. I’m also attentive to details like medication timing and following owner instructions closely. I’m especially comfortable with adult and senior dogs who benefit from a calm, reliable presence. I currently work on a flexible, self-directed schedule from home while writing a book, which allows me to be available for weekday walks and drop-in visits. I’m especially able to help with midday, afternoon, and early evening visits, and I’m happy to work with pet parents on consistent recurring routines when schedules align. I cared for my own senior dog before he passed (a 17+ year Corgi/Dachshund mix. I miss him so much!), so I understand how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail can be. I’m comfortable with regular walks, slower pacing, feeding routines, and making sure medications are given on time when instructed. In a client’s home, I follow their directions closely, keep pets calm and comfortable, and make sure doors, leashes, food, water, and any special instructions are handled carefully.

About: Hi! We’ve loved and cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, and we’ll treat your pets like our own. Our most recent love was Luna, a 7-year-old Staffy-Lab pictured in our profile, who sadly passed from lymphoma after a year of chemotherapy. We’re not quite ready for a new fur baby of our own, but we miss having animal energy around and would love to care for yours. Tiff also raised a Chi-Weenie from puppyhood through her senior years, so we know just how special the bond with a dog can be. We work from home so we’re available for walks, feeding, and lots of playtime! Our schedules are flexible which means lots of love and pets available to your fur baby. We always make sure your dog is securely fitted in their harness and/or leash before leaving for walks. We also double check to make sure everything is locked up before leaving.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have always enjoyed caring for them. I regularly dog-sit for friends and family and love keeping pups happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I usually work 8am to 1:30pm Monday thru Friday. Plenty of time to take good care of the pup. Take for walks, runs, and hikes. I keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for in their home or mine.

“Kristen was super sweet to my cats, very attentive, and the kitties love her too! Thank you so much!!”

“Alessandro is wonderful! I am a pretty high-maintenance cat mom - obsessed with my kitty, etc. Alessandro was great at quelling my fears at leaving my cat and sending me lots of photos and updates so I could relax while I was away. My cat takes oral medication, so it's very important that she gets it regularly and correctly, and Alessandro was great at understanding the many directions for giving her Rx, vitamins, food, lots of pets, etc. I really appreciated how he took my 6-page document detailing Curly's care in stride. haha. We will absolutely be using him again. Thanks again for caring for Curly!”

About: I’ve built a loyal client base since 2022 primarily through word of mouth and have many excellent references. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines, and I consider myself well-prepared to handle a variety of situations. I’m highly communicative, proactive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients, making sure both pets and their people feel heard, respected, and confident in their care. This work brings me a great deal of joy, and I genuinely love getting to know and care for each animal. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week and travel across the Bay Area for in-home sits. Pets are also welcome to stay with me at my Emeryville loft. I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who is friendly with most animals and mostly keeps to himself. I prioritize regular walks, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for dogs in their home, I aim for 2–3 walks daily on safe, familiar routes; there is also a dog park directly across from my loft if that’s a good fit for the dog. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, communicate proactively if questions come up, and keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Beth was so easy to work with to set up an initial meet & greet ahead of our first booking together, and she was wonderful company for my cat while I was out of town.”

“Angela was absolutely awesome! Both my dogs are somewhat neurotic rescues, and one has severe skin allergies. Angela did a great job watching and hanging out with them, and sent lots of pics of them playing and having fun! Highly recommend.”

“Sandee was great! She was very communicative and interactive with our 2 cats while we were away for the week! We felt confident with Sandee that our cats were in good hands and would definitely recommend her! Thank you!”

“Alyssa was fantastic with my young cat. She was responsive, flexible and my cat clearly enjoyed her time with her. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”

“Cassandra was a highly responsible and caring cat sitter who got the hang of our quirky feeder and litter box setup immediately! Our cats immediately warmed up to her within a day which was lovely. The cats and everything was super well taken care of which gave us peace of mind on vacation and everything was in impeccable shape when we got back. Thank you Cassandra.”

“Francis was awesome! He asked great questions during our meeting and made us feel at ease the whole time. He was also super attentive to our boys and was able to handle them very well. Definitely be rebooking his services again and would recommend him to anyone looking for somebody to care for their furbabies.”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life and I love them so much. I have cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have taken private puppy training classes, and I have a strong understanding of body language and behavior. I am comfortable adjusting my approach to fit their needs and personality. I like to send pictures and updates! I currently have a flexible schedule and I am happy to work with your routine. I am available for drop-ins and overnights as well. I can provide plenty of company, playtime, and attention while you're away. I treat every pet with the utmost care and attention to detail. I follow instructions and routines carefully, and I keep their environments safe, secure, and clean.

“I never left My Chutney with anyone else but he loved Patrice! Chutney had accidents every day and she didn’t complain I would recommend Patrice highly and will be hiring her for all my future trips …”

“Artemis was very organized and thoughtful with my two cats. My shy one grew comfortable enough within a few days to play with Artemis. I would book with Artemis again.”

Tracy N.

“Teresa did a fantastic job with our cats. To start, she proactively recommended a meet and greet before our trip and asked lots of thoughtful questions. Then while we were gone, she meticulously followed our care instructions and uploaded plenty of photos so we didn't worry at all. She was even proactive about bringing in a package even though we were off the grid and unable to give specific instructions. I highly recommend her and hope to work with her again!”

About: I have around 10 years of experience dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting! Last summer I cofounded a small home services business based in Washington DC and pet sitting was a huge part of this operation. I love animals and would love to help take care of yours! I work full time 9-5 but am available in the morning/evening for walks or drop in visits, can take care of your pets if you are away for the weekend, and am happy to housesit throughout the week! I love to help maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible while you are away! I just want them to be as comfortable as possible and am happy to accommodate whatever needs they may have. I will communicate clearly and frequently with you to make sure you know how your pet is doing and that they are in good hands.
